Adjuster licenses are renewed in August of odd-numbered years. The fee is $80 unless you are a resident of a state that charges a fee in excess of $80 (e.g., the fee for North Carolina residents is $230 and the fee for Georgia residents is $115). Adjuster fees are retaliatory under SC Law so the amount charged by South Carolina will be the amount charged by your home state, subject to an $80 minimum.

If the applicant's home state does not require an adjuster examination, then a certificate can be used from another state where the applicant is licensed and has taken and passed an adjuster examination.

If the above cannot be provided, then the applicant will be required to pass South Carolina's adjuster examination. Registration for South Carolina's adjuster examination is done through PSI Services LLC. Contact PSI directly at 800-733-9267. View exam content outlines.

Change of Address Requirements

South Carolina law requires all licensees to notify the Department of any change in address within 30 days (business, email, mailing, and residential street addresses).

SLED Report Requirements

Several licensing applications require a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) report. The SLED report must be no more than three months old when it is submitted to the South Carolina Department of Insurance.

A SLED report can be obtained by either submitting a written request to SLED or through their website. A stamped, self-addressed envelope must be submitted to SLED if obtaining a report through a written request. The fee for the report is $25 and must be paid by a company check or money order only.

The applicant may select to have our office pull their SLED report when completing the online application. The fee to pull a SLED report online is $26.

Please do not send the South Carolina Department of Insurance information to SLED! The documentation will not be forwarded to the South Carolina Department of Insurance from SLED.

Effective November 2, 2015, the fee to pull an online SLED report will increase to $26 which will include the $25 SLED fee plus a $1 convenience fee.
